Something New…

Question: What is one new thing I’d like to try?

I might be appalling at posting on my blog, but I do keep an online journal where I usually respond to a daily prompt, plus, I have taken at least one photograph a day for well over a year – usually of the scenery. Taking photos of the scenery has become something of an obsession. It began because I was sometimes finding my walks dull and repetitive, so I challenged myself to take a photo each day. I started looking around for photograph fodder and became more aware of the changing seasons, and how the weather can alter a scene completely – rain, mist, and fog are no longer always my enemies!

From 13/10/22

And from last week…

There is now always something new to look at even though I’m more or less beating the same track everyday.
Anyhow, I have decided that when I’m stuck for a post I can make it all very easy with a prompt and a picture.

Answer: I would like to try being really, really rich.

I am rather pleased with these photographs because I had no picture on my phone screen when I took them. I simply pointed my phone in the direction of the darkening clouds and tapped the button, et voila, two pictures of a rain soaked morning. I was rather thrilled to discover that I’m better at taking pictures blind than when I can see the end result.
Anyhow, I did get soaked. Maybe my phone is broken because I keep getting it wet?

Should I get a new phone???

I have not recovered from Christmas and I’m rather grumpy that it’s now all over. I am also grumpy because I have a Frozen Shoulder. I had heard of this affliction before having it myself, but didn’t realise how painful it is. IT IS BLOODY PAINFUL. And, of course, it’s something that the doctors can do little about. They say it’s something I should be free from in a couple of years time. Well, isn’t that good to know?! Meanwhile, I am finding ever inventive ways for getting dressed and undressed. I blame incorrect injection technique from my last Covid booster in December 2021 – NOT THE VACCINE, but the way the injection was given. The pain from the jab seared down my arm and into my hand – I don’t think that’s supposed to happen. My arm has hurt since then. Throughout the summer I waited for it to get better, but instead I gradually lost mobility in my left arm. I am waiting to see a physio. The problem is that I’m now rather fearful of injections, given that my first Covid shot was also painful. I just want one of those ‘didn’t feel a thing’ jabs that everyone else has been raving about.

Anyhow, this is why I haven’t blogged much. I am grumpy. So my New Year’s resolution is to perhaps try to be a little less grumpy. Maybe a new phone would cheer me up?

A tune…
